Eat Healthy, Take Regular Exercise & Still Die!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I got a free health screen last week courtesy of my work and I’ve just got the results back. Apparently, I’m showing marginally elevated cholesterol. I’m thirty-one years old, take regular exercise, haven’t eaten red meat since 91, try to eat plenty of vegetables, have never smoked and don’t even drink that much now.
To put it in proportion – my blood pressure is fine, my resting heartbeat is also good - 52 bpm and my ECG was normal, so I’m not about to keel over, which kind of makes me wonder how I can be heading towards clogged arteries so soon in life.
Guess it’s time to cut back on the full fat cheeses and the home made garlic bread packed full of butter, or maybe I should just go out and have a Big Mac and be done with it?
That said, I’m at least 11 lbs. under weight as it is, guess I’m gonna have to have that extra helping of (plain) pasta. :roll: :(

I've never had any of these kind of tests done and judging by your current
fitness & lifestyle you'll probably outlive me! :eek: :) :wink:

This may sound crass...but HA...makes me feel so much better about my idle/slothlike state, irregular and lard eating antics, over weight and a secret smoker...but a cholestrol level that's hunky dory!

Bad for you E...but it made me feel so much better

Bet I die first though...if it make you feel better ;)

Luckily my cholesterol looked good in the one test I took last year. I don't eat vegetables or fruit, I never work out and I usually drink a little something every day. But on the other hand I only use olive oil when I cook and I rarely make cream sauces. I'm slim and I feel good, but something tells me I may have been lucky this far.

If I had to be perfectly honest I'd have to say it's not going at the moment.
But it's been a good learning experience. The main problem with Print On Demand is that I don't have a marketing budget, any distribution and the only promotion is what I sort out myself.
I've drafted in some assistance to jazz up the web site, which may help to spread the word.
Other than that, I'm still looking for an agent.

But thanks for asking.

40 a day, several bottles of merlot and Death still comes to slowly with RJ types around. :(

Why go looking for trouble?

I don't want extra years in my seventies & eighties. If there had been a way of getting them before I hit 30 that would have been fine.

But I'd rather my vices got me than I live to 90 in nappies, believing I am the Empress Josephine.

Just my point of view.

It's not when you go but how you go. I'm on 40 a day too, been cutting back on the beer lately, eat reasonably healthy and get loadsa exercise, so it looks like lung cancer before a heart attack for me. Nice to think I'll probably die screaming.

God, what a morbid subject.
